http://redstatefeminists.org Red State Feminists en-us Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:31:21 -0800 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#mildred As readers know, Red State Feminists like to rescue important stories from the slipstream of history. Today we pluck from the slipstream Mildred Hemmon Carter. Her name graced the news for one day in connection with the new George Lucas film, Red Tails, about the Tuskegee airmen--black airmen during World War II. Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:31:20 -0800 RSSPECT-001639863 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#cnngingrich Gingrich apparently lied about what happened in his first divorce. He was committing adultery, and wanted to dump the mother of his children. Indeed, the treasurer of Gingrich's first congressional campaign, "Kip" Carter, said, "it was Newt Gingrich who wanted the divorce. "He (Gingrich) said, 'You know and I know that she's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a president.'

The great gift she has given us is the gift of seeing what is hidden from our view. Come explore "Dark Elegy," the most significant work of art produced in our country in many years.

Well, sure, we've all met repentant souls before, and while we forgive, we are right to assume that there's a moral weakness there that could flare under certain circumstances--like becoming the leader of the free world with all the power that entails. Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:04:45 -0800 RSSPECT-001539926 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#childabuse It's time for the mothers of the world to stand up and expose these porn trolls for what they are--utter sleaze bags. Hound them, keep commenting bak at them until they realize that the mothers of our children are not going anywhere, and are not going to give in to the stupidity and evil of the trolls. Show them how tenacious you are, because what they are counting on is that no one will care enough to follow through on efforts to crack down on these sleaze bags. Show them YOU care.

On Thanksgiving Day--very appropriate--the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled that Canada's ban on polygamy was constitutional, and that the state had a right to ban the practice because it is inherently harmful to women and children. Canada got it right! Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:09:32 -0800 RSSPECT-001518577 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#thankful We're grateful for people who actually get up off the couch and do something to make our country better than it currently is. So on this Thanksgiving of 2011, Red State Feminists wish to give a big shout-out of thanks to the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia! Never heard of them, you say? Ah, well, then you are in for a treat. Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:59:09 -0800 RSSPECT-001508646 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#jail Red State Feminists are no socialists. We want free market capitalism. We just no longer think we have that in the USA. The rule of law has been suspended so that that the big operators can continue to haul in the cash. And when they can't haul in the cash due to their own greedy stupidity, then it's the little fellow who is going to have to pay their bills for them. That's just wrong. If Obama wants to be re-elected, or if Mitt Romney want to be elected, they'd better start telling the American people that some of these crooks are going to jail. Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:05:09 -0800 RSSPECT-001486561 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#nuffer Brenda Lei Fischer was given to Warren Jeffs as a 12 year old bride. She was raped in the FLDS temple as assistants and onlookers participated in the child molesting ritual. She and several other girls were impregnated by Jeffs. How did Brenda Lei get into the hands of notorious Warren Jeffs? Attorney David Nuffer, who has been championed by Orrin Hatch to join the Federal 5th District Court. For shame!

And may their story quicken the hearts of everyone in our culture, and help them to rethink the purpose, the meaning, and the value of life. Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:23:11 -0700 RSSPECT-001467650 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog,html#nobel3 Red State Feminists were thrilled to learn that the Nobel Peace Prize of 2011 went to three brave, immovable women. They are Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, currently the president of Liberia, Leymah Gbowee of Liberia (immortalized in the film Pray the Devil Back to Hell), and the Yemeni feminist and anti-government activist Tawakkul Karman. Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:10:59 -0700 RSSPECT-001460210 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#annarexia Red State Feminists were aghast to discover that apparently our country's craze about Halloween has hit a new low. Apparently, one store sells a costume called "Anna Rexia." Yes, that's right--you can be Anna Rexia for Halloween. You can be a curvaceous blonde with a skeleton on your torso, complete with a measuring tape around your waist. Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:22:06 -0700 RSSPECT-001452429 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#yashar Red State Feminists stumbled across a very interesting blogpost entitled, "A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not 'Crazy,'" written by someone who called themselves Yashar. A lot of other people have apparently stumbled upon it, too, because it has almost 40,000 Facebook likes at this point. The writer's main thesis is that women are very susceptible to being "gaslighted" because of prevalent cultural views of women as being less emotionally self-controlled than men. Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:21:57 -0700 RSSPECT-001445779 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#pat Last week, Pat Robertson announced to his 700 Club viewers that since Alzheimer's Disease is a kind of death, it would be all right to divorce your spouse with Alzheimer's and begin another relationship. After all, Robertson opines, one's marriage vows say "until death do you part." From what we can tell, he was stating that if you are going to find companionship elsewhere, you ought to do it in a way that cannot be construed as adultery. Or can it? Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:22:40 -0700 RSSPECT-001442038 http://redstatefeminists.org/blog.html#kimbel Polygamy is notorious for propaganda. Propaganda and truth are not the same. Knowing the difference can determine your freedom or the loss of it. Our nation would be wise to educate itself about polygamy. Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:38:36 -0700 RSSPECT-001431311
